Marcella Hazan cookbooks

I have been convinced by the various adulations posted on this board to buy one of Marcella Hazan's cookbooks (I love to cook, have always noticed her cookbooks but never bought one). I am wondering which one people would suggest. I am inclined to buy THE ESSENTIALS OF ITALIAN COOKING, since it seems to include both of her first two books in one. Any and all advice is welcome! Also, please note that I don't eat meat or poultry (though I do eat fish)--in case that brings anything to bear on your suggestions.
